X Zone was a staple for horror series' fans back in the late 90s along with Aahat. It was deemed as a successor of sorts to the Zee Horror Show.
As was with other shows of 90s the show had an impressive star power with the likes of Kay Kay, Irfan Khan, Pallavi Joshi, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Deepak Tijori and directors which included Anurag Basu, Ketan Mehta, Ramsay Brothers etc. The quality of production was quite good with respect to the time period when they were produced.
The content was decent while some of the episodes were 'adaptations' from classic horror stories , yet there was space for some excellent original story-telling as well. Two episodes that stood out for me were 'True Story', which in recent viewing does not really hold up, but still is a different story from others and 'Rakshak', which is one of the better horror stories I have seen on Television.
